Manchester - Llandudno 25 April 2015 featuring the Inaugural Hill Climb Sausage Challenge

[fossyant]

I have a caravan down in Prestatyn that sleeps about 6 or 8. Shame we couldnt cycle back through beer. Not booked into this weekend yet, not really sure what we are doing.

PS most of the B&B's are great in Llandudno.

Going to have to drop out of this I'm afraid, after speaking to my O/H about this in more detail, apparently it's his birthday weekend and he's already arranged a weekend away. Which he told me about last September. And I forget, swept up in the idea of a nice long ride as I was.

I think I'm in the doghouse a bit now...

I've a double room booked at the Premier if any of the ladies get desperate

That's @wanda2010 'n' me sorted then. Thanks! Where you staying?

I'm still waiting for my sister to postpone her birthday so I can rejoin.

I Unfortunately it seems the CCers have caused a spike in demand and it's £61 for now.
Premier Inn is looking expensive now too, no promotion prices.

Nick, what have you done?

Unforeseen consequences, like the Swiss dropping out of the Euro cap.

I hope other hotels elsewhere don't go under through lack of demand.

Have the breweries been informed? What about the fish and chip vendors in the area? Do the police have enough cells (it's cheaper than trying to book a hotel ) This could make or break the local economy, whatever happens Llandudno may never be the same again......

No takers yet then Rich?

I can almost feel Lukedad's hot breath....

Wait until those Advance train tickets open up. CC demand should screw up their predictive demand algorithms for years to come

Being the anal chap I am, I've already notified the chippy that we're descending en masse. They're a bit worried as they only seat 32 and hope we can arrive in dribs and drabs. Otherwise we're sitting on each other's knees. Having said that, the drop-outs are starting......

Don't let Rich P hear you saying that!!!!!

I'll pop in and let the owners know you are all loonies.

 

[nickyboy]

Isn't there a wall outside that we can sit on and eat the fish and chips out of a paper?

7pm, April, N Wales. I do admire your optimism though

What date do the advance tickets go on sale?

 

[nickyboy]

What date do the advance tickets go on sale?

Tickets can be booked 13 weeks in advance (ie next weekend). Advance tickets (I think) go on sale a week later. Advance tickets are the way to go from Llandudno. eg. to Manchester they are £13.00 single whereas the Open single is £31.70

If you're wanting to guarantee a bike space on the train (although Arriva seem reasonably relaxed about taking bikes) I suggest you follow Freddy Pontin's advice..........."Book Early!"

 

[Freds Dad]

Thanks. I have looked at prices today and a single from Llandudno junction to Crewe is £26.20 and then SWMBO will collect me from Crewe as getting back to Macclesfield is a pain.

The question is will it come down in price when advanced fares are released or do I take Freddie's advice and "Book Early"
